I scored my very first GOAL in a game just now!

Brooke is #9. In the photo above, you can see she is by the goal and you can see the ball.
In the photo below, she has just kicked it through the goalie's legs! Yay!

And Em worked her little tushie off like she always does.

School Harvest Festival

Every year our school's PTA puts on a wonderful Harvest Festival with games, face painting, treats, etc. 

Here's our Pirate and Ninja!

After years of cake walks at school functions, Emma FINALLY won! Not once but TWICE!

Brooke Rocks at the School Cougar Chase!

Time Out for Women!

We went to Time out for Women in Reno this weekend! It was soooo fun!

We stayed at the Peppermill Hotel. Carli and I met Lesley, Raye, and Coral there. 

We goofed off a lot-- BIG surprise I know. They convinced me to get up at 5:30AM with them and go swimming in the pool. (I NEVER get up before 7:00AM but I couldn't miss the fun!) We swam in the dark as the sun rose-- the pool was heated though, of course.

There were sooo many inspiring talks. TOo many to list. Just GO and see for yourself, guys!

I especially loved Hilary Weeks. She is hysterical and oh so talented musically. Her CD "Lead Me Home" got me through a really hard time about 11 years ago and it was nice to be able to tell her that in person.

Thank you hubby for letting me go and have a BLAST! I love my family and I love the GOSPEL!

Happiness is. . .

An Apple Pie Caramel Apple from Apple Hill!

We took our 6th annual Apple Hill trip yesterday. We love it up there. It really gets me in the mood for the Holidays!

We went on a Hay Ride

We picked out pumpkins! 

We browsed the crafts and decor!

We sampled VERY fresh apple juice. 

Tasted caramel and kettle corn.

We watched the fish jump in the pond. 

The girls picked white gourds to take home and we will buy traditional orange pumpkins later. :)
